I couldn't find a 5th ed character generator in my quick look around. I can help anyone with the Crunch, but Personality also is a big part of character creation, and I can't do that part for you. :P

I think with it being Beta there isn't much in the way of help at all out there yet.

I didn't see any pre gens in the book, but maybe there is?

And MWD is right, the way they've done things, the character concept is intricately tied in with the creation process. Right now I'm still not sure if that's a bug or a feature.

It's more work, but kind of awesome. I'm pretty happy with the direction they went with it, although it is going to be more work for the Players and GM to make the RP/Crunch interaction flowing well. It's not as bad as Fate, but not as easy as previous L5R.

To be honest I haven't had time to go through it.

Whelp, if anybody wants a walkthrough or something, I'm no expert yet, but I've read through character creation a couple times, so I've got some idea what to expect.

I think this might be a long shot at this point. Maybe after Christmas we can look at doing this.
